Order subpages by date

  • Hey folks, I’m tweaking a template and it has subpages within a page. I want to order the subpages by date (newest first).

    How can I do that?

    Here’s what the code looks like:

    <div id="content">
    <?php if(is_front_page()) include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/inc/slider.php'); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post">
      <h2<?php if(!has_post_thumbnail()) echo ' class="h2-nothumb"'; ?>>
        <?php the_title(); ?>
      </h2>
      <?php if((function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())) : ?>
      <div class="post-img">
        <?php the_post_thumbnail('dli-large', array('alt' => ''.get_the_title().'', 'title' => ''.get_the_title().'')); ?>
      </div>
      <?php endif; // endif post thumbnail ?>
      <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/inc/subpages.php'); ?>
    <?php if(ts_get_option('ts_pages_comments')) comments_template('', true); ?>
  </div>
  <!-- end content -->

  • The code that you want to edit is in the /lib/inc/subpages.php file ??
    You can learn about get_pages function and it’s parameter 'sort_column' => 'post_date'.

    Okay, here’s what the subpages.php files looks like:

    <?php $subpages = new WP_Query('post_type=page&post_parent='.$post->ID.'&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&showposts=-1'); ?>
<?php if($subpages->have_posts()) : ?>

<div id="subpages" class="con clearfix">
  <?php $subpages_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'subpages', true) ? get_post_meta($post->ID, 'subpages', true) : __('subpages', TS_DOMAIN); ?>
  <!-- <h3 class="h3-divider"><?php // echo $subpages_title; ?></h3> -->
  <?php $i=0; while ($subpages->have_posts()) : $subpages->the_post(); ?>
  <?php if($i%2==0) add_filter('post_class','ts_post_class_alt'); ?>
  <div class="subpage<?php if($i%2==0) echo ' post-alt'; ?>">
    <?php if((function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())) : ?>
    <div class="post-img"> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
      <?php the_post_thumbnail('dli-medium', array('alt' => ''.get_the_title().'', 'title' => ''.get_the_title().'')); ?>
      </a> </div>
    <?php endif; // endif post thumbnail ?>
    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
      <?php the_title(); ?>
      </a></h3>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
  </div>
  <!-- end post -->
  <?php $i++; endwhile; ?>
</div>
<!-- end subpages -->
<?php wp_reset_query(); endif; // endif subpages ?>

    I tried changing order=ASC to order=DESC but it did nothing.

    Any ideas?

    Try to change
    WP_Query('post_type=page&post_parent='.$post->ID.'&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&showposts=-1')
    to
    WP_Query('post_type=page&post_parent='.$post->ID.'&orderby= date&order=ASC&showposts=-1')

    orderby=date

    there is also modified among orderby parameters
